Location Ideas
For the opening scene, I will need a house with a backgarden pond I will more than likely use my Nan and Grandads house has there garden matches this description.
Idea of Opening Scene Sequence
- Begins with black screen and you can hear the creepy children singing ring a roses.
- For the credits, the names will look like they are appearing on the water.
- Then the film begins, you can see the twins playing with the pond in the background
- Zooms in and is just the twins playing with there toys its is set in at Dusk
- The camera move to the pond as it tilts in to show the name of the film 'Possession'
- There is brief conversation with over the shoulder shots and a match on action of giving a toy block
- There is quiet tension building music playing in the background
- The Mom shouts the boys in
- Ashley runs in leaving Adam alone
- You can see Adam with no expression looking into the pond
- After different angled shots
- We can see a mask appear and then disappear, the music rises
- Then there is a shot of use looking up at Adam as though we are in the water
- Mom calls Adam again and he backs away slowly
Genre can be identified through the opening sequence by the use of creepy sing song from the children and the quiet tension building music, as there is alot of features on the unknown as we are unaware what is happening in the pond and the use of the iconic mask is a key image. Twins are deemed as quite frightening to audiences and so is the use of children as I found this out in my questionnaires.
